Larry Burroughs Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by W. L. Wilson & Sons Funeral Home - Ft. Oglethorpe Chapel on Feb. 4, 2026.
Larry Edwin Burroughs, age 66, of Rossville, passed away on January 21, 2026.

Larry was born in Chattanooga to the late Leonard Virgil Burroughs Jr. and Joyce Dean Hallmark Burroughs and was a lifelong resident of the Chattanooga area.

He proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Kuwait Liberation and in Southwest Asia. Following his military service, Larry built a career as a master welder, a trade that reflected his strong work ethic and skilled hands.

Larry had a love for the open road and especially enjoyed riding his Harley. Above all, he cherished time spent with his family. He was a devoted father and a loyal friend whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Larry is survived by his loving children, Lauren Burroughs and Eric Burroughs.

Graveside services will be held on Friday, March 27, 2026, 2:30 p.m. at Chattanooga National Cemetery.

Arrangements by W.L. Wilson & Sons Funeral Home, 555 West Cloud Springs Road, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.
